>> Frankly, as soon as any person claims they know “THE truth” I just want to run in the opposite direction. There are no absolutes, as far as I’m concerned, and when it comes to “truth” well, what’s true is what’s true for YOU!

. anything with 'ingredients' generally will not be 'raw' unless it is labeled: raw
. even then unless it is refrigerated (and made from fresh ingredients) it probably will not be very vital / and commonly will include 'non-raw' things like braggs or shoyu.

124. Re: raw meditation
yeah..it can be confusing
. very few people have the inner dicipline/desire/drive to bring attention to their dietary habits and their process of internal cleansing and healing in the way that many folks here are. Some folks don't experience the crisis that often brings folks to their health reversal through raw foods. Its something to congratulate oneself...not to condem or 'size up' others..

haha. what a great topic

OK
. I keep agreeing with your responses (except the part about fuel reserves which seems like western medicine to me) ...and disagreeing that they are answering my questions

. I don't think we are disagreeing.
. the life-cycle of fruit..is like a steep mountain.
. at the top, is peak ripeness, to the east is starch, to the west is fermentation
around the summit, is a 'fruitful window'
. so the sweetest spots are the spots just prior to fermentation, where the largest portion/percentage of carbohydrate is available.
